Dividend tax rate
In Spain, the tax on dividends is applicable to both residents and non-residents who receive dividends from companies based in the country. For residents, the tax rates are progressive, while non-residents face a fixed withholding tax rate, which may be lowered due to double taxation agreements. Adhering to Spanish tax laws is essential to avoid any penalties. The dividend tax rates for residents are as follows: 19% for dividends up to €6,000, 21% for dividends ranging from €6,001 to €50,000, and 23% for dividends exceeding €50,000. Non-residents are generally subject to a withholding tax rate of 19% on dividends, although this rate may be reduced through tax treaties.
